suxpert / vimcaps Goto Github PK

If we remap the caps lock, e.g., I'm using power toys, and remap the capslock as left control, then vimcaps can only read the keyboard status, but won't be able to toggle the key itself.

Thanks for this plugin!

I lost a a few hours trying to write a function using system() for lightline by myself, but it was giving me bugs outputing movement keycodes everywhere.

• I would like to start by proposing an additional style for people using a NerdFonts font:

    let names["nerd"] = [[" ", "󰪛"], [" ", "󰎣"], [" ", "󰰡"]]

• And also suggest adding to the readme the ability to trigger statusline redraws in .vimrc:

" redraw statusline every 1000ms for Vimcaps
call timer_start(1000, {-> execute(':let &stl=&stl')}, {'repeat': -1})

Hi LiTuX
Thanks for the script, which is exactly indispensable when using CapsLock!

I installed it on Windows 10 and got the following error

The :version in Vim is as follows.

I followed the execution of the script and found that it threw an exception on this line.

https://github.com/suxpert/vimcaps/blob/master/autoload/vimcaps.vim#L54

Unfortunately, not being familiar with libcallnr, I was unable to track it down any further.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help solve this problem.

thanks.

Hi, first off, thanks for this plugin, it generally works very nicely. Only problem is when not running in an xserver under linux. Switch to another VT with ctrl+alt+f1, open nvim and you should see the following error:

TTY is not yet supported
Error detected while processing BufWinEnter for "*":
E117: Unknown function vimcaps#capsoff

Hi !

Thanks for your work with this plugin, it's very useful.
I would like to collaborate improving this case:

• enter insert mode
• press capslock
• write something ej. AAAAAAAAAA
• press ESC
• press k ( for moving up one line )
• status message shows: E349: No identifier under the cursor.
• next pressed keys are lowercase

So the first after press ESC still uppercase.
How can I fix it ?
thanks

Running:

• Debian 9
• vim 2:8.0.0197-4+deb9u1

I think that most parts of the code can be moved to autoload/vimcaps.vim.
At least, vimcaps# prefixed functions should be moved.
I'll leave the work to you. Or shall I create a PR?

I've created a script to toggle capslock if it's on when you press esc. that will enable anyone to unset capslock when going into Normal mode.

Maybe it can serve as an alternative way for caps lock on OSX.

Thanks for the plugin :)
